Experimental Study and Simulation Design Analysis of Wall Climbing Robot Overcoming “PEEL OFF” and “ROLLOVER” Issues

In this growing era of technology, there is always a rising demand for usage of wall climbing robot for its various application in industries. These rise in demand has provoked the research in this area to design and fabricate an efficient wall climbing robot (WCR). Though there are many design parameters involved in determining an efficiency of wall climbing robot, the key parameters lie with its payload and self-weight that is directly linked with the adhesive mechanism which in turn is influenced by two major issues namely peel off and roll over which remains as major constraint for the practical application of the bot. In this article, the experiment is handled in two different cases. In case-I, an experimental study is enhanced to measure the payload capacity of the proposed wall climbing robot both in static and dynamic mode. The actual result obtained as an outcome of the real time experiment is compared and validated with respect to the simulation result obtained and in case-II, an experimental study is made to validate adhesive force by comparing calibrated value with experimental value and also to validate the design of introducing Smart Adhesive Mechanism (SAM) which can overlook the existing issue so called “peel off” and “roll over”. A software named Edge impulse is used to collect data, create impulse and find the anomaly for the given data series through which the efficiency of the SAM is proven.
